For Immediate Release.
ANUBIS SPIRE gives away album for the holidays.
New York, December 17th:
ANUBIS SPIRE has announced that they are making their latest album "Children Of A Foreign Faith" available for free download until the 1st of 2008. The album, which has garnered praise from critics and fans alike has become the band's best selling offering to date, surpassing in sales ( in a mere six months ) their popular 1998 debut "Old Lions (in the world of snarling sheep)" which continues to sell well a full decade after it's release. "Children Of A Foreign Faith" has drawn comparisons to the concept albums and ambitious rock operas of the 70's and the works of such legendary bands as Dream Theater and Pink Floyd. While it's lyrics deal primarily with the effects of child abuse and all of the life repercussions that it entails, the music, true to course and in patented Anubis Spire style, winds it's way through multiple musical genres yet always remains supportive of the overall concept and mood.
The band said that they decided to offer the free full album download to both thank fans for all their support and to allow those who cannot afford the CD or high resolution paid downloads, a chance to still have a copy of the album. It will be available until New Year's day at www.Soundclick.com/childrenofaforeignfaithanubisspire There are instructions at the page on downloading and burning the album to disk so that it is exactly sequenced and assembled as the commercial release. Songwriter/guitarist Bill MacKechnie said "All we really ask those who download the material is to please share it with those they think might appreciate it. We made it for those who have ears to hear it and think that nothing should stand in the way of bringing it to you. Especially money."
The band is currently back in the studio and promises even bigger news in 2008.

**** A year ago on November 13th, our friend LEO TAGLIALAVORE flew away. We could tell you about all of the great music that he's been responsible for this past year as his friends struggled to not only pay tribute to him but come to some sort of personal closure, but instead we're going to once again suggest you go listen to the man himself. Read the tributes. Read his own words and listen and look at his art. Those of us he left behind will do our best to keep bringing his spirit into our own work and hope that we're making him proud. Go listen to all the gifts he left YOU. ~ Bill

Imagine...
Imagine falling asleep in a golden age. Not an age of majestic pyramids and incredible empires but rather an age where individuality and self expression was king. An age when MUSIC had the power to transform and transfix. When veritable demi-gods and Lizard-kings strode the world stage and forever changed the planet with nothing more than poetry, a smouldering Stratocaster or two and the sweet dream of a limitless future. Now imagine waking to find in it's place a world hopelessly diminished and shriveled. A world where the powers that be have fostered the negative, self absorbed and impotent notion that NOTHING matters and nothing lasts beyond your momentary attention span. A world of vapid attitude and hollow posturing, where the sheep think they're the leaders and the leaders take that carefully crafted illusion all the way to the bank. Where fashion dictates the ridiculing and complete disregard of the past. A world with collective selective amnesia, where the mere hint of that former glory brings terror to the puppetmasters and peer disrespect and condemnation. Now... imagine having a choice... to join the flock and cash in, playing the role of the piper even though you know the path leads only to the slaughterhouse door, OR... awaken, pick up where you left off and hope that there are still a few who can hear and understand. A few who have not been permanently deafened to the call of their own hearts and souls...
Take them lightly at your own peril--- ANUBIS SPIRE is awake.

Why this name?
Believe it or not, it came in a dream...
Do you play live?
We only play benefit concerts to raise money to help in the battle to stamp out polecats.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's a revolution and like any revolution, the tyrants who seek to protect their stranglehold on complete control of what you can hear are trying desperately to kill it. If you're smart, you'll FIGHT for it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
At this point it would probably have to be the most artist-friendly deal in history...we don't think that will happen anytime soon, BUT..we're definitely open to an indie deal if it's fair.
Band History:
ANUBIS SPIRE was formed new years day 1998 after an chance jam session the night before. Made up of musical veterans who wanted to write and play music in the mid-seventies style of such bands as Led Zeppelin, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc., the band set about melding it's various influences and adding a heavy dose of world and ethnic sounds and a 90's twist to the mix. The debut CD-OLD LIONS(in the world of snarling sheep) was recorded in a barn, on an antiquated 8 track almost entirely LIVE! They are currently recording their new CD-CHILDREN OF A FOREIGN FAITH for release
Your influences?
Page and Plant, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Hawkwind, Bill Nelson, The Beatles, The Flaming Lips, Albert Lee.
Favorite spot?
The Giza plateau OR Bo Diddley's backyard Bar-b-q!!!
Equipment used:
The usual junk...but we also design and build our own twisted creations! Listen to 'WHIRLING TOWARD SHAMBALAH' to hear Bill's homebuilt ANUBITAR electric sitar thingy or 'GHOSTS OF KV5' to hear his the ANUBICUBE dual-stereo optical theremin. Buy the CD OLD LIONS or BACK TO ABYDOS to hear the guitar and bass effects designed and built by bass player (and certified crazy person) Tim Costley. To learn more about the ANUBITAR and ANUBICUBE, go to the homepage: AnubisSpire.com.
